I can't remember the reason.
The boys played Kings Mountain. Burns was up 4 with 2 minutes left and lost by 5. Total meltdown.

Quick question for whoever might know. We start the conference tournament tomorrow and championship on Friday. I was told today that it did not matter who won the conference tournament, Ashbrook would be the #1 seed from our conference for state tournament. Is this true? If so why are we wasting time playing a conference tournament? Thanks
It’s true.
Bragging rights!😂
The tourney does give every team a chance to get into the playoffs if they win it.
This makes absolutely zero sense. There's only 4 teams in our conference that make the conference tournament and they'll make the playoffs anyway. No need to play for nothing but a chance of someone to be injured.
I kind of lean towards rewarding the #1 team for their regular season success. If a team plays a full conference schedule and ends the regular season as #1, why would you punish them for losing one game during a tournament that lasts a week.
Now, in Burns/Shelby's case this week, they both finished tied for 1st in the conference. Splitting the season series. I would assume, that which ever team goes further in the tournament, will get the one seed.
My junior year many moons ago, us and Kings Mountain tied for the 1 seed during the regular season. We both got upset in the semi-finals and had to play a tie breaker game to see who got the one seed. But if the rule of whoever wins the conference tournament gets a one seed were in effect, neither of us would have gotten it. It's like the NCAA, just because you win your conference tournament, doesn't guarantee you a high seed in the big dance, just guarantees you a spot.
